One of one. One of one. One of one. It kept coming back to me that every significant avenue filmmaker Alex Dvorak went into, she was the only one with that path.

And that kind of trailblazing requires bravery, vulnerability, and as you see in her film BAD SURVIVOR, a fair bit of snark.

Special Slamdance coverage continues with Alex Dvorak.

In this episode, we discuss:

• her completely unique entry into filmmaking...as a cancer survivor;
• are there more survivor stories out there? "Hard yes" - Alex Dvorak;
• the range and brilliance of her short film, BAD SURVIVOR;
• what's it like to have survivors approach her after the film?;
• how she is going into a different direction with this short by turning it into a YA graphic novel and a series;
• "writer, director, model" -- Alex is one of one of so many categories; how does she keep finding herself pursuing these unique goals?
• how does she view Gen Z filmmakers and what kind of films we are going to see from them? "the most interesting and unique stories" - Alex Dvorak
• what's next for her?
